February 4
February 4, 2008 by OrientSee.
A pair of Downy Woodpeckers were banging away in the thicket this morning. When it is quiet, the ratatattat is a very distinctive sound. While not full of unusual birds, today was full of geese and ducks. The ponds are mostly ice free and so they are busy. The Canada geese were out vacuuming the marsh grass. It was a large flock that was methodically working its way across the wide flats. The Red-Tail and the Cooper’s Hawks were out looking for a meal. I saw what might have been a Northern Shrike but I didn’t get a good look at its bill. The cloudy skies are our advance warning of the coming two days of rain and gloom. It was good to get out before the nasty weather keeps me in for a few days.
Ciao!
